I wish you all many blessings in the New Year.

I've received several messages about my books, primarily: When is your next release?

With regret, I am retiring from writing. Thank you so much for your support over the years, but I'm simply not able to create a work/life/book balance anymore.

Best wishes, Readers!

Cheers!!

I've received several messages from readers asking if I'm going to write about the long lost Hawkins Brother, Drake Junior. I had hoped to write his story but unfortunately that won't be possible at this time. 🙁

You see, my attempt to relaunch my brand and all the Hawkins Family novels was unsuccessful, and it's time for me to move on. It was a fun ride. Thanks so much for taking it with me. 🙂

In the meantime, I'm going to take a short break from social media as I plan and compose a whole new historical romance series. I'll post more details as soon as possible, so keep an eye out for me in the book publishing world.😊

Cheers!

Disney is making an all-female PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, starring Margo Robbie ... though I shamelessly think my female pirate, Mirabelle Hawkins, from TOO GREAT A TEMPTATION, is the best. 😉

Damian Westmore, the "Duke of Rogues," has more than earned his epithet. But when tragedy strikes, Damian abandons his hedonistic lifestyle to seek vengeance. He never expected to meet Mirabelle Hawkins, the one woman in the world who could thwart his plans . . . and heal his heart.

Cheers!
